To my actor friends:


Fortune rests in chimerical packs
polished car hoods and china stacks
tea time's arranged through a mad hatter agent
famous by deranged calls to punctual pageants

Cued act microphone invites a speaker
back of megaphone hides the peeker
celebrity status is on the rise
let morning bird chitter arise

Celebrities exhibit there ware for tear
stand up to the test of public scrutiny
so did pirate crews on hoisted sail mutinies
centuries before American idol worshipers cared...

So what do I say of the celebrity out there?
about pretty faces when their lives are laid bare?
about handsome traces when evolved to has beens..
as famous words step into devolved worlds we're in?

it's okay to be a "star"
if it doesn't go to your head
it's okay to fly "afar"
when you'd rather be home instead .

The celebrity lives in spotlight for sure...and I don't think I could ever tolerate the burn. You have an interesting mind dear poet...very clever, and quite astounding. TD

Many do it just to be in the spotlight, then of course I think the pressure leads to a lot of "life in the fast lane sequences" we read about...
